I love wearing them and I love looking at them, but actually making them comes in pretty low on the list of activities I enjoy and actively seek out.
A few years back I got pretty desperate for PROPER fingerless gloves, so I broke and made myself some.
Warm hands? YES PLEASE!
Purple possum-merino goodness.
If they're so pretty and snuggly warm, why do I dislike making them? BEHOLD THE REASON:
Successful juggling of all the needles and stitch holders requires that you posses approximately the same number of arms as the average Hindu deity.
Yeah, seems legit.
Did you know that threading the on-hold stitches onto a circular needle makes thing much easier?
I do now -.-;
These are Glamour Nana's Wintertime Driving Gloves, in the same Corridale she used to make herself a cardigan. There wasn't quite enough there is grey possum/merino to pad it out.
I really shouldn't watch Doctor Who while knitting. Fingers are different lengths, silly Topaz!
Have a wonderful crafternoon!
